Ai/LLM Reviews of Star Trek The Next Generation - The Loss

Strengths
Character Focus: This is a fantastic character
study of Counselor Troi. It explores her
vulnerability and the deep connection she has to
her empathic abilities. Seeing her without them,
and the panic and fear that results,
is a compelling and unique perspective.

Hunh, Gemini seems to like this one. I always thought it was a contrived
and weak.

I've never liked lose-your-powers episodes, though. The idea is human-
centric, which IMO is inappropriate for an SF show with
extraterrestrials in the main cast.

Imagine it this way: most species have no sense of hearing, but humans
have this handy extra ability to perceive air vibrations quite keenly. A
ship has one human officer, whose hearing is sometimes useful. If this
lone human suddenly and mysteriously goes deaf, it means the writers ran
out of good ideas that made sense.

I felt her characterization was weak and it didn't make a lot of sense that the only thing keeping her from being incompetent was her empath abilities.

Oh yeah, and she was a real bitch about it.
